Al'ar Strategy — Tempest Keep: The Eye

Phase 2 · Tempest Keep: The Eye · 2 tanks, 5 healers, rest dps

A phoenix fight with a platform-hopping first phase and a fiery, add-summoning second. Al'ar has no melee hit but patrols between platforms, and at 0% in phase one it rebirths into phase two rather than dying.

Fight phases

  1. 1

    Phase 1

    Al'ar hops between platforms in sequence; tanks pick it up at each. Avoid the swooping flame patterns and burn it to 0%, when it revives for phase 2.

  2. 2

    Phase 2

    Al'ar lands center, casts Flame Patch and Meteor (a knockback + Ember adds). Kill Embers, dodge fire, and burn it down for good.

By role

Tanks

Tanks rotate picking up Al'ar as it moves platform to platform in P1. In P2 hold it central, away from the fire patches, and grab Ember of Al'ar adds.

Healers

P1 is light; P2's Meteor knockback + flame patches + Embers is the damage. Spread and top players caught by fire.

DPS

Follow it around in P1 without overaggroing the next platform. In P2 kill Embers fast (they explode) and stay out of Flame Patch.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Standing in flame patterns / patches.
  • ✕Ignoring Ember adds until they explode.
